From This Might Be A Wiki

artist	They Might Be Giants
album	Then: The Earlier Years, Podcast 22A
year	1997
run time	1:50
sung by	John Linnell, John Flansburgh (background)

An inspiration for this song comes from the back cover of a Bob Dylan CD, which hyphenated and separated the title "Mr. Tambourine Man" in the most unusual of places (Mr. Tambo - urine Man).
Many of the lyrics in this song are wrong in one way or another; The Oakland Raiders are a football team, not a baseball team. Also, it is impossible to take a train to Africa, because it is cut off from other continents at the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Hormuz, and there is no consulate from Belgium. Plus, at least one of the Johns singing did in fact write the words they were singing.
This song was covered by Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science Club, and released on the album "The Mini-Album of Luv".
